Issue #8 opens with [[John-117]] recollecting the events at [[Requiem]], [[Ivanoff Station]], and [[Earth]] that resulted in the destruction of [[Cortana]] and the disappearance of the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]. After the flashback, the scene cuts to [[2557#July|July 25, 2557]] with John being debriefed by the [[UNSC Security Council]]. The Master Chief confirms that Cortana and the [[Composer]] were both destroyed over Earth, but he was unable to confirm the Didact's death. With there being no proof of a living [[Forerunner]], the Council decides to tell the general public that [[ | Issue #8 opens with [[John-117]] recollecting the events at [[Requiem]], [[Ivanoff Station]], and [[Earth]] that resulted in the destruction of [[Cortana]] and the disappearance of the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]].

With there being no proof of a living [[Forerunner]], the Council decides to tell the general public that [[New Phoenix Incident|the attack]] on [[New Phoenix]] was caused by the [[Covenant]] and ended by the return of a hero, the Master Chief. Following his meeting with the Security Council, the Master Chief meets with [[Terrence Hood|Lord Terrence Hood]]. Hood asks the Master Chief if he could advise a team on [[Installation 03]] to investigate the loss of contact with a science team escorted by Spartan [[Team Black]] on the ring. The Master Chief meets with [[Blue Team]], consisting of [[Fred-104]], [[Kelly-087]], and [[Linda-058]]. | ||
The team takes a [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] to the installation and lands in a desert, nearby the science team's camp. With no response from Team Black, Blue Team continues to move towards the science camp. Along the way, Linda spots [[Promethean Crawler]] footprints in the sand leading towards the camp. Upon entering the camp, they find the bodies of the deceased science team. Fred soon finds the bodies of Team Black, dead. While looking for Team Black's killer, the Spartans are attacked by [[Promethean Knight]]s. After a short firefight, Blue Team destroys the Knights and continues on in the desert. The team discovers an uncovered structure in the sand, the former location of the Composer. Upon entering the structure, the Spartans discover the [[Composer's Abyss]], a facility used to store victims digitized by the Composer. At the end of the Abyss, the Spartans discover a [[slipspace portal]] and ponder what to do next. | The team takes a [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] to the installation and lands in a desert, nearby the science team's camp.
